    1. I wrote a fantasy novel and was told it read too much like wikipedia articles about my world's lore. So I'm rewriting it and am seeking feedback on the first chapter if it feels like I've found that balance or not. [3,587]
    2. Would love feedback [1602]

    1. A Letter to Madness. This is my first time writing a letter, and just to be clear, this is the account of one of the main characters in a book I’m writing — I wouldn’t be crazy enough to expose myself that much on Reddit. Anyway, any suggestions for improvement?
    2. [WP] He watched the clouds paint stories in the sky, each formation whispered tales of adventure and emotion, and in that quiet room, he embarked on capturing those ethereal narratives, the very essence of his writing journey born from the ever-changing clouds outside his window.
